Hiii!
My CRR script is completely finished and now I just need to record and edit it all! Honestly, I'm a little far behind but Im gathering most of the stock footage now so that I won't be that far behind tomorrow when I finally put everything together.
Hello!
So I pretty much finished my film (except for adding Santis updated version of the music). So I figure there is no better time than now to start my Creative Content Reflection Questions.
How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?
My product challenges conventions by being a relatively quiet psychological thriller focusing on the satisfying noises of the dietetic sound. I use elements from movies that inspire me and make me appreciate the art of movies, Taxi driver is an example where it uses many shots of the scenery and puts you in the main character's situation. The other inspiration I drew from was The Favorite which uses music as an overwhelming noise in order to cause tension and anxiety. I also drew some inspiration from Wes Anderson using his iconic still cameras to showcase his set design. In my movie, I show the life of a group that while extremely common I feel is underrepresented in medial; the working man, I'm extremely interested in psychology and when working at Publix for a short 8 months I really hated the feeling and idea of doing the same thing over and over again in a workforce such as this, but this is an extremely common lifestyle for many. And due to the stigma associated with men often do not seek out mental health care. I think that this is a large audience that is relatively untapped.
How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?
It engages with them by relating to them and playing into most people's fear of needing to live a lonely life working at a dead-end job with no means of escape. I would most likely start by uploading the movie to YouTube and then trying to get it enrolled in film festivals across the U.S.
How did your production skills develop throughout this project?
I feel that I learned how to make a film which takes place in different places of time without actually having to film it on different days, I used different T-Shirts and different times of day to make it look like time was passing. I also toyed heavily with sound using some instances of Foley and I honestly think that in some scenes I have a very excellent soundscape, making for very crisp audio despite using a phone to record it. I toyed with audio A lot during the film, I wanted to cause anxiety trough the music and lack of it. In the final scene of my intro, my MC lies down and the music is increasingly becoming more and more intense and overbears all the Diegetic sound of the movie, then vanishes at the end of the scene. This detracts the viewer from the stressful situation they are placed in and almost relieves them of it, but then they are thrown back in with a loud breath sound almost serving as a jump scare as it places our main character back in his nightmarish life. The intro is supposed to make you resent his life and wonder why he is still in the situation he is in.
How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project?
As far as the technology involved when it came to the hardware, all I really used was my iPhone for all of the takes. When it came to the software I used Davinki resolve to edit the entire project as I am more comfortable with it.
Hello!
Today I finally completely finished editing the first cut of the film with some of the credits and put in the music sample provided by Santi! Here's a snippet of the timeline.
Hey!
Santi Rios has updated me! And it was a huge update, he sent me his first draft of what he's been working on! I will be posting it here.
Hello!!!!
I have some very exciting news today!!! I officially filmed the remainder of my project, meaning I am done with all the filming.
I and Cesar and his brother Gabriel did a day-long marathon where we filmed the rest of what was required in order to wrap it up. Here's a blooper from the film:
